In this episode the beer nut and his wife dive into the similarities between training a dog and training up children. There's a lot more similarities than you might think.

Drinks

Passionfruit Seltzer Water by Bubly

Barrel-Aged Breakfast Stout by Skookum Brewery

Josh and Ian sit down to discuss what the 2A is primarily about and why that primary reason is important to protect. Are there other important reasons to have firearms? Yes. But what were the founding fathers primarily concerned about?

Drinks:

High West Double Rye

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof

This is a unique episode with Ian and wife, Kim, without Josh, the gun nerd. We discuss many topics relating to raising children and the current national debate around firearms.

Drinks vary from seltzer water to a barrel-aged stout.

This winter has proven difficult to get together and record episodes but we finally found a break in our schedule to lay down some minutes.

God is doing something in our country. Many are grasping for a moral standard but with no foundation to lean on. "Patriots" that love the result but don't necessarily know why.

Ride the Spiral - Silver City Brewery

Dormancy Stout - Bale Breaker

When you release an episode a week later than you record it, the news cycle has changed, infringing legislation has ACTUALLY passed (not just proposed) and the hip podcast we once were starts to sound like old news. Well, hopefully it's worth 45 min of your time and you'll glean something from it. We don't take offense if you skip over the "what we're drinking part" ;).

We join up again to pontificate on the current happenings of the present day. Although we pray we are doing more than that, rather that we spur on the listener to love and good deeds. Love that follows God's guidelines. Good deeds that are bold and sometimes perhaps offensive. Hopefully it encourages you to go out and defy as well as obey, as unto God.

The Imbibes

Solitary Confinement Stout by Skookum Brewery

Rye Bourbon by Knob Creek

We sit down on a rainy PNW day (as heard in the background) for a conversation about a couple recent court cases and how those might affect rulings in the future. As we mention in the episode, the basic "courage threshold" is going up so gird up your loins and get your house in order.

Beer:

2017 Fremont Brewing B-Bomb

Barrel Aged Sedna Tiramisu Stout from Ecliptic Brewing

Josh and Ian sit down on a rainy Saturday to solve the world's problems. Everything is solved, now to get the answers to all the world...

Oort Barrel-aged Stout by Ecliptic Brewing

Cask Strength Bourbon by Woodinville Whiskey

The Russian joins this episode to talk everything from current tyrannical overreach to Ben Franklins deism and even a little Roman history thrown in for good measure. Josh drops some hot soil talk (among more interesting topics). It's a wild ride but we actually come around to some sound thoughts by the end... I think.

Beers:

Parlor Trick by Skookum

Shadow Rising by Skookum

While getting together to record has proved difficult in this period of life, we have not stopped thinking about how the Christian should respond to the tornado of events in front of us. We don't claim to have all the answers but hopefully the conversation provokes the right kind of thought and motivation.
